Obama knows the US can't govern the Middle East for the Middle Easterners. Fascists run the whole place. Only Tunisia, Egypt, and Palestine has ever had a certified free election and democratic government. The Shiia and Sunia civil war has been going on since 10,000 BC. Alls the US can do is airstrikes and help sometimes with regular soldiers. We can help with setting up elections and governments. But we can't run the Middle East for the Middle Easterers.
